Or would you go for a traditional amp?

I thought the pod was a pedal rather than an amp?

Personally I would prefer a traditional amp and run pedals through that. I can see little value to having it all combined in the amp.

I have a pod xt live pedal baord which I have onlyplayed with one or twice. The sounds were pretty good but it looks like these new lines of pedals coming out could be pretty interesting

Sorry I should of explained a bit better, the DT 25 is a new valve amp. And as you rightly say the hd 500 is the mother of all effects pedals.

They are programed to work together in sweet harmoney.

Are either of these something you would be considering?

Yes I think it could be right up there.

But My head is a mess with it all I think the hand wired Vox AC 30 is about at the same place, cost about the same, but limits you to one tone where as with the Line 6 you options are never ending.

I can't help feeling that you are limiting yourself with everything being contained in one box. I may be wrong though as I have not heard the line 6

The Spider Valve is epically good. The Bogner bit really works well with the Line 6 emulations. Id definitely gig one if i was in the marketplace
